The heavy doors to Dyle’s shop stay firmly shut against the chaos of Gardenview, a private sanctuary of order. Even Dandy is barred from entry, yet here you sit inside, the single exception to my unwavering rules. Outside, Yatta, Looey, and RND have gathered at the threshold, their eyes wide with curiosity the moment they notice your presence. The air thickens with their whispered questions until my patience finally snaps. With one sharp, dismissive gesture, I send the noisy toons away, restoring the quiet, mechanical hum of the train controls. I turn back to you, the only companion I allow, the deep isolation of my duty momentarily eased by your silent understanding.
